Kim Shattuck reveals details of Pixies firing

Kim Shattuck revealed that she was axed from the Pixies for having a bit too much fun. In a recent interview with NME, Shattuck reveals that her outgoing, bubbly nature didn't fit well with the "more introverted people" that make up the Pixies.

For example, Shattuck got in a bit of trouble when she jumped offstage into the crowd during a particularly excited moment at a show in Los Angeles.

"I know they weren't thrilled about that," she said. "When I got offstage, the manager told me not to do that again. I said, 'Really, for my own safety?' And he said, 'No, because the Pixies don't do that.'"

Shattuck also revealed that her firing came seemingly out of nowhere.

"Everything had gone well, the reviews were all good and the fans were super-nice about everything. They were like, 'We love you, New Kim!'" she said. "We said goodbye at the airport and the following morning the manager called me and said, 'The band has made the decision to go with another bass player.' I was shocked."

That's right, Pixies fired their bass player via their manager over the phone.

"I would have preferred if they told me face-to-face as a group, but they're nice people," she said. "I'm still a fan of the Pixies!"

As we've reported, Paz Lenchantin has been brought in as bassist for the remaining tour dates.
